Question

I have a very simple database table of posts, I’d like to be able to print the most recent entry first, followed then by the next most previous entry etc etc when I retrieve them all . How do I do this?

$someText = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM text");
    while($row = mysql_fetch_array($someText)) {
        echo "$row[column]";
    }

You have to order them by id or date or something else. (ASC or DESC)

This might do the trick if you’ve added them in the correct order.

$test = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM posts ORDER BY id DESC");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($test)) {
    echo "$row[post]";
}
